Helios Remote Sensing Systems, Inc. will develop innovative cognitive software algorithms and techniques for electronic warfare in order to counter highly agile radar emitters. We will define and develop a concept for cognitive Software Algorithms EW techniques for identifying and countering agile threat emitters. We will also develop prototype signal sets that emulate threat emitters. We will dem ...

IDSS in partnership with Tufts University Human Factors Engineering Program, a leader in Engineering Phycology, proposes to study CT screening system operator burden and reduce image review time by reviewing and making improvements to the GUI and the current man-machine interaction and perform limited prototyping of potential improvement to the operator interface and toolset.

The survivability of tactical missiles through adverse weather is difficult to predict, because of the dependency on many variables and the unpredictable nature of weather. This proposal is focused on an effort to develop and test a physics-based methodology for the prediction of the droplet distortion and demise in the flow field around missiles in supersonic flight. Our technical approach of Pha ...

The current state of weather requirements definition for tactical missiles is outdated providing operational decision makers little confidence in the performance of missiles in any environment other than blue-sky. The challenge is understanding detailed physics features like drop shape change through a shock, and then being able to apply those at the system level for vehicle performance assessment ...

The purpose of this research is to develop a capability that improves upon current Information Technology (IT) help desk and customer relations, specifically in parsing and analyzing help desk communications (text and speech), reports, and logs. The resulting data set will be used to employ technical enhancements to the IT support and customer relations management space. The research will focus on ...

There is currently no autonomous pallet loading/unloading solution for full or half size 463L Military pallets. In austere environments such as those encountered at forward operating bases (FOB) and further forward, this is a significant problem. With no means of autonomously positioning or retrieving supplies at the aircraft, re-tasking fire teams and other personnel critical to the fight and gen ...

Polaris proposes a hybrid system, combining a Sky Polarization Azimuth Sensing System (SkyPASS) Gen3 heading sensor and a Celestial Positioning System (CPS) into a SkyPASS Gen3 Positioning System (SkyPASS-GPS). The SkyPASS-GPS system will utilize multiple celestial technologies (including Sun tracking, star tracking, and sky polarization mapping) combined with novel algorithms to provide heading a ...

In this research effort, GTD Unlimited will develop a toolset that leverages machine learning and analytics to analyze E-2D’s system maintenance with Automated Logistics Environment (ALE) data collected across the fleet to design and develop improved maintenance procedures that will improve readiness. GTD will determine key performance metrics of the platform that are of value to the maintainer, ...

Data stream analytics have been used in industry for a number of years to solve various logistical and other problems using on-the-fly monitoring, data-mining, and analysis of ongoing information streams. Recent advances in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-speed parallel computing architectures may now provide the ability to execute such data-stream analysis algorithms in real time. U.S. ...

A fully planar CTD is proposed that eliminates the need for tubes, vents, and scoops to deliver seawater to the CTD sensor. Additionally, as the planar sensor is directly mounted to the submarines skin, either to the hull or the sail, there is no latency associated with the measurements as with the current configuration. The planar CTD is based upon BHT's patented technology which allows this plan ...
